there seems to be a bug with the kernel or device driver or whatever. the
bug is present in the current release of Athena for the VAXstation 2000.
the same piece of code:
fopen("/dev/ttys?", "r+");
crashes and reboots the machine for the 25 pin serial port, but works okay
for the 9 pin port. other variations, like
open instead of fopen
yield similar results (i.e. works on 9 pin, crashes/reboots on 25 pin).
please look into this matter and if possible, please reply.
thanx.
